Hello! My name is Marlene and I have over 20 years of childcare experience and I would love to watch and play with your child or children for your next date night, important meeting, event, or for any reason at all! I, myself, am a mother of four adult children who I raised -- all of whom are successful young adults pursuing their careers and academics. It is always my honor and privilege to care for children by helping and supporting their parents when childcare is needed. I am used to watching single or multiple children at a time ranging from newborns to the teenage years and children of all needs. I am responsible, fun, caring, and most importantly I always have the safety and well-being of your child or children at the forefront of my childcare responsibility. Having raised four children of my own, two of them being less than 18 months apart, I know firsthand the responsibility, care, and work required to ensure a safe, age appropriate, engaging environment for children. I am your person! So many of the families I have cared for over the years have always told me they see me as an extension of their own family, like an aunt, grandma, an older sister, and to this day I still am in contact with many of those families, with some of them grown up themselves. I would be happy to provide those references for you. I can do it all, from crafts, coloring, and activities, homework help, reading to them, preparing meals for the children, clean up together, engaging with the children with games, putting them to sleep, and following any specific routine you have in mind for your children. Think of me as an extension of you! I would be honored to watch your child. I know finding and trusting someone to watch your child is not easy, but I promise you that with me, you will feel at ease and I will make sure you feel comfortable and great about your decision in hiring me for your next outing!

I simply enjoy the innocent energy of infants, babies, toddlers and children. They are like precious battery chargers to me. I will care for your child/children as if they are my own. I have 40 years of sitting experience, personal experience and tons of references. I recently moved to L.A. from FL, for my last employment I was with a family for 6 years from newborn age until both children were school age. I stay in communication with almost all of the families over the years. Amazing to watch them grow into adults with careers. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm a divorced empty-nester, so my schedule is wide-open for your convenience. My 21 yr old daughter lives in my bldg. in Hollywood, which shows just how loving my maternal instincts are. I have a car and am willing to babysit up to 5-8 miles from Hollywood LA. I am also available days and/or evenings on the weekend. Please note - I have a 4 hour minimum per sitting. I am also willing to travel with families on vacations upon request.

Hi, I'm Hailey! I’m a Los Angeles native and a creative, hands-on nanny who truly loves working with children of all ages.

Hi families! I’m Allie — a warm, reliable, and deeply experienced caregiver with over 15+ years of supporting children and families. I’ve been caring for kids for as long as I can remember. As the oldest of four, (with my youngest sibling being 12 years younger than me) I naturally stepped into the role of helper, nurturer, and playful guide from a young age. Caring for children has always felt like second nature to me - it’s where I learned patience, intuition, and the quiet art of tuning into what a child needs...whether comfort, structure, play, or simply someone to be fully present with them. Over the years I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to teens, and families often describe me as calming, creative, and someone they and their kids can rely on. I love the power of imagination and play, and I genuinely enjoy getting on a child’s level - creating worlds, exploring ideas, and helping them feel safe to be themselves. Creativity is a big part of my career as well, and I find childcare to be beautifully symbiotic: kids expand my imagination just as much as I support theirs. Outside of caregiving, I’m a former corporate marketing lead, turned feminine leadership and mindset coach, so I bring emotional intelligence, grounded communication, structure, and a steady, supportive presence into every environment I enter. And as someone who hopes to have children of my own in the next few years, I take this work to heart. I treat every child with the same care, attention, and respect I’d want for my own. I can support your family with: • Part-time care (up to 25 hours/week) • Before or After-school help • Creative activities + outdoor play • Meal prep • Homework guidance • Morning and/or Bedtime routines • Light household support • School pickups/drop-offs If you’re looking for someone warm, trustworthy, and deeply committed to your children’s wellbeing, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit. Looking forward to meeting your family 🤍

Hi! My name is Sara, and it's so lovely to (virtually) meet you! I grew up in Orange County but recently moved to the Los Angeles area, and I am loving it so far. I’ve been babysitting since my late teens for the mothers in my neighborhood, and it helped me realize that I absolutely adore working with children and want a career in pediatrics. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan, and I’m currently taking a gap year and applying to graduate schools to become a pediatric speech language pathologist. In pursuit of future graduate programs, I recently collected over 30 clinical observation hours alongside ASHA licensed speech language pathologists. I also spent the summer of 2024 working as a behavioral technician at Creative Solutions for Hope, which helped me gain experience working with special needs children. I’m also very passionate about working with the Deaf community, and I’ve been learning ASL for the past 6 years.
